A/N: Hey guys! I know its been a long time since I've done anything Power Rangers related, and…I don't have any excuse. I was just in over my head with what I thought I could do, and sadly I could never find the inspiration to continue. But considering that the anniversary of my favorite childhood franchise has come, I decided its time to try again and honor it. So, here's my version of Dimensions in Danger. Don't worry, I won't make any drastic changes, its mostly added scenes that give some of the captured rangers more to do and fixing mistakes. So let's begin!

Chapter 1: Dimensions In Crisis
Madame Odious sat in her room on The Galaxy Warrior Ship, contemplating her recent defeat at the hands of the Power Rangers. Despite managing to destroy their zords, they had received new ones from the Ninja Nexus Prism, destroying her Foxatron and scarring her. She almost regretted killing Wolvermean now, as she was now down in man power. Almost.
Still, she remained calm. All things considered, she was lucky to even still be alive, and the boost in ratings from the last episode meant they would have no shortage of contestants. In the end, she decided brooding over the event would do her no good and instead decided how to think about how to pay the rangers back.
All of a sudden, a knock was heard at the door.
"You may enter."
Badonna, her most trusted second in command, entered.
"Pardon the intrusion, Madame Odius, but there is a man here to see you and refuses to take no for an answer."
Instead of replying, Odius sat up from her meditation and silently left for the main room.
She found the stranger on the show floor, admiring the sets. He was a heavily armored individual, dressed as a Japanese warlord. His face seemed to be fixed in a permanent sneer.
"You wished to have an audience with me, and now you have it. But I suggest you don't waste my time, otherwise you will regret it."
The individual turned and bowed to her.
"I assure you that this will be quite worth your time. I am Lord Draven, ruler of the Antiverse, and I have a proposition for you. One that will assure the Earth is yours and that the rangers are no more."
"You have my attention."
"As you may or may not be aware, there are multiple universes spanning the length of what is known as The Morphing Grid."
Madame Odius nodded half-heartedly. She was vaguely aware of the existence of other dimensions from Badonna, who had came with a dimwitted bounty hunter to salvage Super Ninja Steel from an asteroid. Suffice to say that she had managed to fool him, though she found it odd that he never sought revenge.
"Using my technology and power, I have found a way to jump dimensions, as well as ways of not only capturing ranger powers, but mass producing them. With enough time and resources, I can have a ranger army large enough to take over the multiverse."
"I see. But why do you come to me?"
"Sadly, it takes too much energy to cross dimensions with current technology, much less do so efficiently. I have a means to fix that, however."
With a wave of his hand, he revealed a box containing arrows.
"These arrows are designed to destroy the barriers between dimensions, making it so that we can just move from one dimension to the next. The problem is that I don't have the means to properly empower them. That is where you come in, Madame."
Odius pondered the situation for a moment. At first glance, it seemed ludicrous and a waste of her time. However, she couldn't help but get the sense that his plan might succeed. If so, she didn't want any competition for Earth.
"Very well, you have my assistance, but one two conditions."
"I'm listening."
"One: We be allowed to film this for I show. It'll make a grand special episode, and viewers will eat it up."
"Agreed. What else?"
"Once this plan succeeds, I want control of this Earth. I don't care much else for the other worlds."
"Consider it done. Once we succeed, you may do with this world as you wish."
He stuck out his hand, which Odius shook
(In Harwood County)
Gia Moran sat outside her house, breathing in the fresh air. Although it had been 4 years since she had been an active ranger, she still vividly remembered the battles. The rush of power, the strength it gave her, and just the over all feeling of being able to make a difference in the world.
Even though they were no longer active rangers, Gosei had allowed them to keep their powers on hand in case of an emergency. Although she no longer needed it, she still kept both of her morphers on hand as a safety measure. She remembered how Jake would tease her about her paranoia.
She smiled as she thought of her teammates. Although they were still friends, they were off doing different things. Noah had gone to University and was studying Computer Science. She heard that Mercer Industries had been offering him a job, although she hadn't heard much from him. Emma had gone to University too, majoring in Journalism with hopes to use her reporting skills to help the environment.
Orion had headed off into space. He had a lead that there were other survivors from Andresia out there, and had to know, although he promised to return soon. They had all seen him off a few weeks ago, and from their communications it had been going well.
Troy had joined the military, like his father. Said he wanted to still protect the planet, even if he wasn't an active ranger. He had joined the Navy and was away on training.
Jake was the only person who still lived near her. He had been working with Connor McKnight on Soccer camps for kids, while also working a day job at Ernie's Brainfreeze. He and Gia were still dating, although Gia wouldn't mind if he proposed soon.
For now, though, she was just enjoying the peace and quiet of the morning.
"Hello, ranger."
So much for peace and quiet.
Gia turned to see Draven standing at the end of her drive way with a squadron of kudabots and Basherbots.
"Oh great, another bad guy. Let me guess, you want to take over the world? 25 years and still no originality."
"Not just this world, but all of the worlds. And you're going to help me do it."
"Yeah right. Like I'd agree to that."
"Don't worry, you won't have to do so willingly. Its your powers that will help me. Kudabots, Basherbots, attack!"
With a series of mechanical grunts, the robotic footsoldiers charged at Gia, who just grunted.
"Well, I wanted some action. Should've been more careful of what I ask for."
She pulled out her Megaforce morpher and inserted her Power Card.
"Its Morphin Time! Go Go Megaforce!"
With a flash she was morphed and ready for action, her Tiger Claw ready for action. Although the robots were tough, a few quick slashes and they were down for the count.
"Impressive. Let's see how you handle a real challenge."
With his sword held high, Draven charged at Gia, who brought out her Legendary Morpher.
"We'll see about that. Super Mega Mode!"
In another flash, Gia was in her powered up form, sword ready as she met Draven in the middle, swords clashing. Although Gia fought hard, she was slowly being overpowered.
"Give up, ranger. You don't stand a chance."
"Haven't you heard? Earth's Defenders Never Surrender."
"Don't you ever get tired of saying that?"
"Don't you bad guys ever get tired of losing?"
"Huh?"
With a flurry of sparks, Draven was driven back, clutching his chest. Gia lowered her Super Megag Blaster and pulled out another key.
"Legendary Ranger Mode: Mighty Morphin. It's Morphin Time!"
In a flash, Gia was the Mighty Morphin Yellow Ranger, and before Draven could compose himself she was on him, jabbing him with her Daggers.
"Do you really think that's enough to stop me?"
Before Gia could land another hit, Draven gave her an uppercut with his sword, sending her sprawling and sending her back to Super Mega Mode. Gia was undaunted, however, and fished another key.
"Legendary Ranger Mode: White Mystic Ranger! Magical Source, Mystic Force!"
In a flash, Gia was the White Mystic Ranger, snow staff at the ready.
"I think you need to cool off. Snow staff, Snow flurry!"
A cold blast of snow hit Draven, temporarily freezing him in place.
"It'll take more than frozen water to beat me, Ranger!"
With a massive burst of energy, the ice was shattered, pushing Gia back. Before she could return fire, more footsoldiers appeared and overwhelmed her, demorphing her back to civilian mode.
"That was mildly entertaining, ranger, but I'm afraid your time to play the hero is over."
"Think again, Draven!"
The warlord looked up, only to get blasted back. The Red Time Force Ranger ran onto the scene.
"Go back to your own dimension, Draven. This one is ours."
Draven got up to fight, only to realize he was more injured than he thought.
"This isn't over yet, Rangers. Mark my words."
With that he teleported away, his footsoldiers disappearing as well. Wes demorphed and ran over to her.
"You okay, Gia?"
"Thanks to you. Who was that guy?"
"A warlord ought to conquer the multiverse. He's already captured multiple rangers. If we want to stop him, we need all of the help we can get."
"Well, count me in. Where do we start?"
Wes pulled out a strange looking device.
"Fancy some dimension traveling?"
A/N: And the first chapter is done. Hope you guys liked it. The first chapter or two will mostly be about setting the stage, after that we'll get into the action with the Ninja Steel Rangers. Also, can I just say that Dimensions in Danger was just awesome. In just 30 minutes they managed to do more than Once a Ranger did in an hour, and certainly did more to celebrate the franchise than Super Megaforce. My only real complaint is that it would've been better as a two parter, but that's what fanfiction is for. Lastly, can anyone guess what connection Gia's Legendary Ranger Modes have? First person to get it right will get a shout out next chapter.
